When I was a student at Nipawin Bible College I had a roommate that loved sheep. Posters of sheep decorated her side of the room, trinkets of sheep covered her shelves and a cute stuffed sheep sat on her bed. We even had some hay in our room for a......Just Kidding. It took me awhile but slowly I too began to love the small woolly animal and would catch myself drawing them on my notes. But after graduating from NBC and moving on I sadly forgot the cute sheep and began to adore other things.
This past week NBC had their 2007 Fall Missions Conference. Which is a chance for missionaries to tell students about their mission and the work God is doing around the world. Their booths displayed faces of people yet to hear the gospel and explained how we can help. Students could look, ask questions and maybe even answer the call.
There was also an Ethnic Supper held in the decked out dinning hall. Where all were able to enjoy some delicious food and hear amazing stories from the missionaries. It was a great time to unite with friends, make new ones and even find out where God may be leading.
Services were held each day for worship, prayer, testimonies and to hear God's word. Our speaker was David Smith from Across Borders for World Evangelism and he challenged us to feed God's sheep. Whether that be overseas in a foreign country or right in our backyard.
This Conference added a greatly needed bundle of kindling to the fire for my love of sheep. It reminded me that no matter where God takes us and whom he brings into our lives. May we always have love for God's sheep and be willing to feed them. "The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep." John 21:17
